Heat oven to 425°F. Boil potatoes 15-18 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain. 2. Place potatoes in a greased baking sheet and gently smash. Brush with 1 Tbsp melted butter, season with salt and pepper, and bake 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. 3. Top potatoes with cheddar and return to oven 3-5 minutes until melted. Finish with sour cream and green onions. 4. Pat steak dry and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. 5. Cook steak bites 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches if needed. Add remaining 2 Tbsp butter during the last minute and toss steak in the garlic butter. 6. Serve steak bites alongside the loaded smashed potatoes. Easy Tip: Don't overcrowd the skillet-the steak will brown brown better and stay juicy.
